It's worth a try...
I did uninstall it, twice, and installed it again and it almost got worse lol. When I validate files through steam I get "44 items weren't available to validate" or something like that and then it downloads the files again, and I do another validate check and it gives me the same answer and redownloads them AGAIN, so I may have 44 corrupt files which I can't fix even by redownloading the entire game.

I'm afraid reinstalling my computer is the only way for me unless someone finds a superfix
